Java's Crypt

Javascript is surprisingly quirky for such a hyped language.  Even Python has less quirks.

scoping issues, this, lack of operator overloading, semicolon insertion, retarded coercion rules, module support not part of the core, etc. also, "portable". yes, with native you have to port to other platforms; with javascript you have to port to different browsers, each with their own subset of javascript and their own vm/jit with its own runtime characteristics and god knows what else. keycodes? have fun!

all that has fuck all to do with the DOM and is what people bitch about all the time. yes, some of those are proposed to be fixed in harmony... when is the release date on that again?

really, when a language needs a "good parts" book, there is something wrong with it
